Do you suggest moving from RST to Markdown?

I think SCHED_PRIORITY is not a standard definition, at least I didn't find

You can propose using RR slice equal 0 by default, but I don't know the
side effects (it could be considered a breaking change, because some user
applications could stop working or behave strangely).
